The Patriarch's Ponds area has changed beyond recognition over the past decade. Today, without exaggeration, this is one of the most pleasant places in Moscow: now here you can not only visit Bulgakov’s sights, but also spend the whole day unnoticed, strolling through independent shops, lingering in pleasant cafes and beauty salons. We have compiled a list of points in the immediate vicinity of the pond that define "Patrick" today.

The author's project of William Lamberti opened on Malaya Bronnaya in 2011 and since then has gained fame as one of the main points on the map of the Patriarch's Ponds area. Here Lamberti is not only the chef and co-owner, he is responsible for literally every detail: for example, the red kitchen in the middle of the main hall is his idea. The kitchen is open, you can follow the magic of preparing each dish step by step. The menu is not very large, but the chef welcomes suggestions from any visitor, of which, by the way, there are not many here - you must definitely reserve a table well in advance. In the summer, local residents meet here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, having won the most popular places - and these are by no means tables, but steps at the entrance - with pillows and the special atmosphere of European Moscow.

The twin of the American restaurant and bar (both the menu and the interior copy its Manhattan “brother”) surprised Muscovites primarily with its cuisine: you can’t find fault with the food at Saxon+Parole. Beef tartare, grilled octopus or baked lamb in Moroccan spices - the hits of guests in New York are no less successful among Muscovites. In addition, the bar is not inferior to the restaurant in popularity, which is quite a rare success for Moscow. Here they rely on classic cocktails and their variations. The signature dish is Manhattan on Top, which is served with the addition in a separate flask. The check is expectedly expensive, however, there are no better places for dinner in the Patriarch's Ponds area yet. The locals have long understood this, and therefore a table for the evening should be booked in advance.

Austrian sausage shop on Malaya Bronnaya. Six types of sausages come straight from Europe and are prepared as hot dogs or grilled with cabbage and vegetables. The establishment has one more feature: coffee is served here, following all Viennese traditions - on a silver tray along with a glass of cold water. It is believed that water refreshes the taste of coffee. In addition, of course, there is beer on the menu. A great place to take a sausage with you and sit on the grass or a bench on the Patriarch's Ponds.

The Patriarchal Ponds, from being a place of gatherings of marginalized people, meetings of Bulgakov lovers (after the House-Museum, walk around the pond holding hands) and fans of drinking a bottle or two while sitting on a bench, is turning into an increasingly - in a good sense - “fashionable area”. Among the pleasant places that influence the mood of the entire quarter is Rehabshop, which opened in 2011. Here you can often meet the owner of the store, Natalya Dogadina, who several times a year goes on her own travels to buy beautiful vintage items and new collections from Chalayan, BOY BY BAND OF OUTSIDERS, Yigal Azrouel, Golden Goose, Rochas, Manolo Blahnik and many others.

Ivan and Vasily studied in the same course. Two historians and philologists were united by their love for comics, and after university they went to a specialized publishing house. But everyday office life was not for these guys, and the day came when they quit and plunged into the measured life of the unemployed. They could spend hours looking at comics by Frank Miller and Alex Ross. But finding good comics in Moscow is not so easy, nor is it easy to survive without a salary, and Vasily and Ivan decided to open their own store. This is how Chook and Geek was born, the first comic book store in the city. Popular publications like Warren Ellis and Mark Millar, rarities for connoisseurs, and even Russian authors who are now gaining strength are sold here at affordable prices.

The American confectionery (more precisely, a “laboratory”, as the ideological masterminds say) from the creators of Friends Forever Pavel Kosterenko and Nina Gudkova, in general, amazes the imagination. Here, tiramisu in giant jars, cheesecakes, cupcakes, puddings and mousses, even homemade marshmallows are lined up to the ceiling in a display case. It’s nice to come here for breakfast (in addition to sweets and the more usual cereals, toast, and granola, you can try scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, and a number of low-calorie salads). There is also coffee served with different syrups. In a word, this is a place that you may have dreamed of going to as a child - it’s not for nothing that there is even a separate space for children’s parties.

Another establishment of the Ginza Project, Marie Vanna, whose branches today exist in both London and New York, has long earned a good name and respect. The restaurant on Patriki is no exception. There is still the same signature comfort of a Moscow apartment: wallpaper, parquet, grandma’s furniture and someone’s household items, as well as local public favorites - a cat and a dog. And the same traditional Russian homemade food: borscht, jellied meat, dumplings, buckwheat porridge, jelly. The place is good for bringing foreign friends here - to show the local flavor and try delicious Russian cuisine.

The wine bar on Patriarch's Ponds fits into a small but cozy room, conducive to staying here for a long time. The original idea was to provide guests with wine, tea and coffee, and serve only a minimum of snacks that go with these offerings. However, as a result, Nude has significantly expanded the food menu: the choice of individual dishes is still small, but there are separate pages dedicated to breakfast and desserts. Be sure to try their eggs benedict (there's a long wait for them, but they're worth it) and pancakes. This place is also included on the city’s coffee map; Anastasia Godunova, co-owner of the Good Enough coffee shop, worked with coffee here.

Friends Danila, Alexey and Evgeniy one day decided to dramatically change the direction of their activities and, having quit fashion media, opened a men's barber shop, Chop-Chop. The interiors of Chop-Chop hairdressing salons, the number of which is regularly increasing and the geography is expanding, are made in the style of classic American barbershops, and haircuts here are done in the spirit of America of the 50s and 60s. And this is, perhaps, the first place in Moscow where you can get a quick and fashionable haircut at an affordable price. The gang of hairdressers is led by Nikolai, a European champion in hairdressing. Here they pay attention not only to the hair on the head, but also to the beard. At Chop-Chop, visitors feel like they are in a men's club: trendy music, drinks, vintage furniture. Moscow dandies and dudes run here to spend time in the company of those who understand them perfectly.

The creators of the men's barber shop Chop-Chop, Danila, Alexey and Evgeniy, at some point got tired of the attacks of the girlfriends of Chop-Chop visitors, who begged them to open a similar establishment for girls. A year and a half after the first Chop-Chop salon opened, the guys put together a team and launched the first women's hairdressing salon, Birdie. There are two rooms here: one for haircuts, the second for manicures. The philosophy that unites all salon employees is the desire for naturalness. To the hissing sounds of vinyl, hair salon visitors forget about the everyday bustle. Everything is in place: light walls, vintage furniture and an intelligent audience.

In the same building as the “Ptichka” hair salon, there is another one of the “DoubleB” coffee shops. Here you can get the same specialty coffee in a branded glass that has won fame throughout the chain: cappuccino, latte, flat white and branded lavender and citrus raf from 150 to 350 rubles. This time they chose a larger room, so here, unlike other places in the chain, it’s easier to find a place - there are more tables and seats, and in the summer it’s nice to sit outside.

Mr. Right Barbershop is a place exclusively for men who need a haircut, beard trim or shave. This is a classic barbershop with the appropriate atmosphere: antique barber chairs from the 1960s and 70s, characteristic white “hog” tiles, stained wood furniture, granite countertops and, of course, an intimate conversation with a man with a barber. As for the quality of services, feel free to go to any of the barbers - each of them is pedantic and extremely careful in their work.

The Theater of Contemporary Play, positioning itself as an “experimental theater center,” was created by Eduard Boyakov. Poetry evenings, film screenings and scientific and philosophical meetings are held here. The main task of the theater is to tell about modernity. Guests will be primarily interested in the “Man.doc” project - a series of monologue performances about the heroes of modern Russian culture, from leading web designer Artemy Lebedev to the scandalous artist Oleg Kulik. The artistic director of the theater is Ivan Vyrypaev, a laureate of the Venice Film Festival, whose plays and scripts are known in Europe and translated into many languages. If you can’t come to the theater, then watch his film “Euphoria” - a little wild, but an apt look into the Russian soul. Theater actress Vera Polozkova is a popular modern poetess. If you're in the city, try to get to her poetry evening. Get a vivid insight into Moscow's cultural environment. After the performance, do not forget to stop by the local cafe - it is laconic both in the interior and in the selection of dishes offered, but it is extremely pleasant and, importantly, inexpensive.

The restaurant of Ilya Tyutenkov (the creator of Uilliam's and Ugolyok) will first of all captivate you from the street with the view of its open kitchen, where every dish is prepared and laid out on a plate before your eyes - the process is mesmerizing. In the hall there are emphatically rough common tables, at which everyone so many people gather every day that you can’t get crowded - and this is no coincidence, since the food from chef Luigi Magni makes you come back here again and again. First of all, it makes sense to try the local most delicate dishes with octopus - aromatic ravioli soup and a warm appetizer of tentacles. The names in the rather modest menu seem much simpler than the dishes themselves, at the sight of which you can’t immediately understand what is in front of you - what is the delicious dessert “Raspberry Dream” with a red caramel ball, meringues, raspberries and delicate mousse, which from a distance looks more like Christmas decorations than for dessert. Drinks deserve special mention: they serve original cocktails, just as interesting and refined as the main cuisine. Many of them (though not all) are quite strong, but all of them, without exception, are extremely pleasant to the taste. Besides, it can be guaranteed. that you have definitely never tried anything like this before.

The cafe, bakery and grocery store, opened by producer Alexey Bokov and architect Yuna Megre, was especially loved by regulars with three stump tables on the street, at which visitors sit even in winter. The establishment provides blankets - and now you are drinking coffee on the steps near the window, watching what is happening on the street. Although Michel's Bakery is famous primarily for its confectionery products, you can also have a full meal of French cuisine here.

The wine bar from Alexander Shishkin, where Fyodor Verin (from Uilliam's) operates, is a very pleasant place for evening gatherings. The space is very small - the bar is designed for 40 people, and it is easy to pass by. The interior has brick walls, wooden tables, bar counter. There is a small menu, but quite decent prices and really high-quality wine. The food is also excellent, but it’s not worth going here for.

The well-known and time-tested network is also available on the Patriarch’s. Karavaevs offer a self-service system: ordering on a first-come, first-served basis from the counters. They serve high-quality and appetizing food, so if you're in a hurry but don't want to splurge on fast food, this is probably the place for you. The confectionery department deserves a special mention - look at the nut cookies with nut filling and local cheesecakes!

The famous network of confectionery shops (and part-time bakeries) from Stephanie and Alexander Gerez, which began just a few years ago with just one establishment, is now known everywhere and has expanded far beyond Moscow. The local branch is especially attractive: in the mornings you can see a line of people standing here for the freshest bread - baguettes, ciabatta and many other types. You can also buy sweets here: the most delicate eclairs, fresh macaroons, souffles and all sorts of pastries. Volkonsky operates not only as a store, but also as a cafe - there is only one common table, and it is almost always occupied - but isn’t this a sign of a decent place. The establishment is open from early morning until late, so you can pop in here at any time to drink coffee and a bun for breakfast or, conversely, have a midnight snack.

Since 2001, the owner of the store, Irina Ponomareva, has been bringing French brands to Moscow: Les Prairies de Paris, Laurence Dolidge, Gat Rimon, Sandro, Maje, Les Petites, Manoushe - some of them cannot be found anywhere else in the city. You can also buy hats, accessories and jewelry here. The pastel colors and cozy space of the boutique create a special atmosphere: it’s pleasant to be here and you’ll definitely want to buy something.

The first state municipal museum in Russia, which completely specializes in the art of the 20th-21st centuries, was opened in 1999 and now occupies 5 sites in the center of Moscow. One of them is in Eromlaevsky Lane, hidden from the eyes of passers-by. Exhibitions of emerging and famous Russian and foreign artists are held here. This is definitely worth a look if you are interested in art. However, even if not, you still need to visit this place at least once.

The Ecomarket association has opened a place on Patriarch's Ponds called "Garden City" - half a store, half a cafe and a deli with takeaway food. Here they sell vegetables, fruits, cheese, cottage cheese, milk and farm meat at above-average prices that are standard for farm products. Using ingredients on sale, the local team prepares simple, yet inspired dishes: for example, lamb roulade, quinoa tabbouleh, beetroot and guaco hummus. Vegetarians and vegans should especially come here: they make veggie burgers, vegan banana muffins and carrot muffins, raw cakes, and gluten-free baked goods. And the vegetables and fruits just beg for smoothies, which in the Garden City are poured into fashionable branded jars. Recently, a menu with delicious and healthy breakfasts has appeared here.

A small cafe in the Laura Craft bar, which initially existed in the format of food delivery and was called Mr. Laflafel, and later switched to an offline place, which the creators themselves call “Lancheria”. The place specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine and kosher food, as indicated by the kosher sign decorating the interior. In addition to the usual falafel, falafel burgers and very tasty hummus (note to vegetarians), they also serve less common dishes - for example, forshmak and the Israeli breakfast shakshuka. Indian cuisine is prepared along with Middle Eastern cuisine: fish and chicken curry, lentil soup, thali with basmati rice and Tibetan momo dumplings. The decor inside is deliberately simple, and the prices are low.

“Patriki” is more than a location, but a definition of Moscow lifestyle of special endurance. Our gastronomic guide is about the most delicious, conceptual and fashionable things in the area.

"Summer on the Patricks"

Spiridonievsky lane, 11

The new site “Summer on Patrick” opened in a beautiful park with centuries-old trees. The fashionable format of the pop-up project assumes that the outdoor restaurant will last only 2 months - from August 1 to October 1. It consists of one large spacious veranda with an open bar and a contact kitchen: the Megre Interiors team worked on the design of the area surrounded by greenery. The famous chef Giacomo Lombardi is responsible for the cuisine at Leta, whose name is usually associated with the success of Ugolok - with his light hand, kebabs and dim sum, brutal bruschetta with herring and classic ones with avocado coexist organically on the menu.

Malaya Bronnaya st., 20A

Good old Uilliam's is a real symbol of the Patriarchs. The fantastically successful project of William Lamberti showed by its example that everything ingenious is simple: a simple one-page menu, simple serving, a crowd of people in a tiny space and an open kitchen. Interest in signature bruschetta with crab and The grilled meat never lets up - it's still difficult to sit down at lunchtime without a reservation.

Saxon+Parole

Spiridonievsky lane, 12/9

Another “place of power” of the Patriarch’s Ponds is Saxon+Parole, equally suitable for dinner, breakfast or a relaxed brunch. Hits from American chef Brad Fermeri are still at the top: portobello mushroom mousse with whiskey jelly, strip steak with marrow bone filled with béarnaise sauce, and the juiciest burgers in Moscow. Take a seat by the open panoramic doors, watch passers-by while leisurely sipping one of the signature cocktails of the month, or choose a win-win wine classic. It is better to book a table in advance.

"Birch Bistrot"

Malaya Bronnaya st., 20

A place for a glass of Aperol on the steps in the open display windows - such spaces suit the Patricks very much. Following her friends, the owners of the Georgian restaurant Patara Rezo Gigineishvili and Alexey Kiselev, Svetlana Bondarchuk teamed up with Dina Khabirova and opened the intimate restaurant-bistro “Berezka”. Regis Trigel, a chef from France who has registered in Russia, was called to lead the kitchen. The author's menu, according to the chef, was compiled specifically for the fair half: salads with superfoods, an abundance of seasonal vegetables and root vegetables, a minimum of fatty foods and sugar. The hallmark of the establishment is salad nicoise in various variations: from classic tuna to Kamchatka crab, tiger shrimp and farm quail.

Butler Restaurant

Trekhprudny Lane, 15

The Patricks lacked such places: starched tablecloths, china, ceremonies, a huge veranda, live music, proper table setting. There is so much space in the luxurious mansion with a green terrace that the relatively new restaurant has already been chosen by the respectable public for weddings and banquets. Butler's cuisine perfectly matches the tastes of the Moscow public: it is Mediterranean traditions with an emphasis on seafood - squid, langoustines, scallops, oysters and much more.

Gilda Seafood Restaurant

Bolshoy Patriarchal lane, 7 building 1

The new restaurant on the site of the Pavilion was eagerly awaited. The joint project of restaurateur Alexander Oganezov and the owners of the Gilda Forte Dei Marmi restaurant in southern Italy burst into the lives of Muscovites quite recently, but it seems that it has always been there. The restaurant's chef, Massimiliano Montiroli, did not reinvent the wheel and relied on classic cuisine from the south of Italy: tartare and carpaccio, pasta and risotto, baked lamb shoulder and seabass fillet with wild mushrooms. But the main thing here is the bohemian crowd, who have lively conversations over a glass of Riesling or Prosecco, enjoying the view of the most romantic pond in the city.

"Rybtorg", or fish shop

Trekhprudny lane, 5

A fish shop called “Rybtorg” occupied an empty niche: Moscow lacked a place where you can buy fresh seafood and fish and at the same time linger for a glass of sparkling wine with oysters. Crabs, Japanese oysters, scallops, scallop shrimp, dorado, yellowfin tuna and other seafood delicacies await customers on an ice slide and in a five-meter aquarium. And to evaluate the assortment of “Rybtorg” right on the spot, just go to the second hall.

Over the past few years, the Patriarchs have become the main gastronomic district of Moscow. Here you can find drinking establishments, microscopic coffee shops with a couple of tables, semi-secret restaurants, and noisy bars, from which the crowd spills onto the narrow sidewalks in the evening. Restaurants and gastropubs continue to open on Malaya Bronnaya, Kozikhinsky Lane and on Spiridonovka, attracting more and more new visitors. Sometimes: at the beginning of summer, local residents rebelled, tired of the noise under their windows and crowds by the ponds, and now establishments on Patriarch's Streets close no later than 11 pm. This, however, does not prevent restaurateurs from planning the opening of new establishments.

The Village has gathered the main establishments in the Patriarch's Ponds area, where you can go for breakfast or dinner, invite friends for brunch, or run in for a coffee to go.

Two years ago, Arthur and Zara Bersirov, with no experience in the restaurant business, opened a small cafe.

Responsible for the kitchen is Dasha Khomitskaya, who used to be a chef at the cafe "" and at the club "Cult".

In the Patriarchal area there are two franchise coffee shops “Doubleby”: in Trekhprudny Lane and on Bolshaya Bronnaya. It’s better to go to the latter, since the establishment in Trekhprudny does not always correspond to the quality level of other coffee shops in the chain.

The interior on Bolshaya Bronnaya is a variation of the loft and stands out significantly from other Double B. As for the assortment, it is standard here. Coffee is brewed both in an espresso machine and using alternative methods: there is Hario and Aeropress. Black coffee is served for 150 rubles, with milk for 250 and 300 rubles, and signature coffee drinks for 350 rubles.

The beans are purchased from the roaster of the already mentioned restaurateur Pavel Kosterenko (Local Band) and only the classics are prepared: espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte.

They also have cocoa, several types of tea and excellent hot chocolate. In addition to hot drinks, they offer homemade lemonades. The only food available is pastries: a classic croissant, a croissant with chocolate, raspberries or lemon, and a snail with cinnamon, raisins and pecans.

This spring, the first Ladurée confectionery chain in Moscow opened on Malaya Bronnaya Street.

For dessert, they offer 15 types of macarons (for example, with caramel or licorice, one macaron - 225 rubles, a box of six macarons - 1,700 rubles), as well as French toast with maple or rose syrup and whipped cream (650 rubles).

The meat restaurant Max's Beef for Money, which quietly opened in early April on Bolshoi Kozikhinsky Lane, belongs to Vladimir Basov, the best sommelier in Russia in 2002. The menu at Max's Beef for Money (one page and eight main positions, not counting appetizers and dessert) and primarily depends on which parts of the carcass are ready after fermentation. Some ferment for a month, others take up to 50 days. On Mondays, the kitchen at Max's Beef for Money is closed, as the restaurant is cutting meat: on this day you can only order cheese and wine.

On other days, you need to go here for Piedmontese tartare (nothing extra - just minced meat, olive oil and salt), bone marrow with black truffle and thymus in crab bisque. Despite the fact that the entire menu at Max's Beef for Money is built around meat, the restaurant serves only two types of steaks: the title steak (premium cut from the back on the grill) and steak from alternative cuts.

What to order

"Batuta" (Piedmontese tartare) - 600 rubles

Thyroid gland - 850 rubles

Bone marrow - 500 rubles

Having moved from Kitay-Gorod to Patriarch's this spring, Moscow-Delhi operates in the same format. When entering, you are asked to take off your shoes; food is prepared every day in the same room where visitors are greeted; poultry, meat, eggs and fish dishes are not served. They offer lunches for 1,000 rubles and dinners for 1,800 rubles. Lunch, also known as breakfast, from one to four in the afternoon - dishes of South Indian cuisine: dosas with aloo masala and homemade paneer (thin crispy flatbreads made from fermented rice and white urad dal), classic chutneys (coconut and tomato-ginger), sambar (thick soup of lentils and vegetables). Dinner is served from six in the evening. Drinks include masala tea, herbal teas and South Indian masala coffee, which is brewed in a Turk with green cardamom.

What to order

Dinner (one option) - appetizer (Kashmiri broth with spinach, freshly ground spelled, wheat and amaranth naan with wild garlic and black cumin), thali (large tray with 15 different dishes) and chutney - 1,800 rubles

Cutfish, which launched in early May, literally has a star-studded lineup of founders - the place belongs to Alexander Oganezov and Glen Ballis, who have already opened a cafe together on Sadovaya-Samotyochnaya.

Ballis himself is the head chef at Cutfish. You can watch the chefs at work from a seat at the endless counter surrounding the open kitchen. The menu has three significant sections: appetizers, sushi/rolls and grill. In the appetizer section, the main interest is poke with tuna or salmon, albacore and avocado - it looks like an impressive bowl of rice with sesame dressing with ponzu and fish, in size capable of competing with other dishes from the main menu. Fish and seafood for sushi are brought directly from Japan, three times a week by plane. The rolls are rotated by hand and served in one piece. Just like sushi, of which there are only two in one set, it is better to order several servings at once, otherwise there is a high chance of remaining hungry.

What to order

Poke with albacore tuna and avocado - 550 rubles

Sushi with yellowtail - 440 rubles

Hand rolls with scallop - 350 rubles

Grilled shrimp with ginger and pickles - 590 rubles

Baked Jerusalem artichoke with ponzu and crab meat - 690 rubles

The third establishment of the chain opened on Patriarch's Street in mid-spring. Sergey Yugay remains the brand chef of all restaurants. Alexey Makhnyuk is responsible for the kitchen on Spiridonovka. The dumplings are made by Taiwanese Wang Xifeng. In the year since the first location opened, the menu has changed by about half. We had to remove items that were difficult to purchase: certain sizes of fish (for example, sea bream was replaced by Hongshao-style flounder), Ugurian-style ribs (it was not possible to achieve a stable supply) and some vegetables. The section with Chinese BBQ dishes has expanded: in addition to duck, you can order pork breast and pork ribs, chicken with lemon sauce, or an assortment of all of the above. More desserts appeared: ice cream, several types of Chinese donuts, cream caramel. The hits continue to be all steamed dumplings, Chinese BBQ dishes, cucumbers marinated according to an old Taiwanese recipe, and Tiger salad (fresh vegetables with thin rice noodles). Next come all the sweet and sour dishes - pork, chicken or fish, hot and sour soup, fried noodles (in fact, what you need to come here for).

What to order

Steamed dumplings “Xiao Long Bao” - 410 rubles

Three Cup Chicken - 410 rubles

Hot and sour soup - 390 rubles

Cucumbers pickled according to an old Taiwanese recipe - 280 rubles

Tiger salad - 340 rubles

Brix has been operating since autumn 2012. The establishment is small, designed for a maximum of 40 people. The wine list in the bar is short, but well chosen.
